Through false estimates of soul as dwelling in sense
and of mind as dwelling in matter, belief strays into a
sense of temporary loss or absence of soul, spiritual
truth. This state of error is the mortal
dream of life and substance as existent in matter, and is
directly opposite to the immortal reality of being. So long
as we believe that soul can sin or that immortal Soul is in
mortal body, we can never understand the Science of
being. When humanity does understand this Science, it
will become the law of Life to man, - even the higher law
of Soul, which prevails over material sense through harmony
and immortality.

The objects cognized by the physical senses have not
the reality of substance. They are only what mortal
belief calls them. Matter, sin, and mortality lose all
supposed consciousness or claim to life or existence, as
mortals lay off a false sense of life, substance, and
intelligence. But the spiritual, eternal man is not touched by
these phases of mortality.
